Woman Who Killed Her Seven Babies, Packed Them in Boxes Confesses to MurdersMore details are coming in following the horrific discovery of the bodies of seven babies in a garage in Pleasant Grove, Utah.
Megan Huntsman told police that “she either strangled or suffocated them immediately after they were born,” the Associated Press reported. “She wrapped their bodies in a towel or a shirt, put them in plastic bags and then packed them inside boxes in the garage of her home south of Salt Lake City.” Huntsman, 39, is charged with six counts of murder; she told authorities the seventh baby was stillborn. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/15/woman-who-killed-her-seven-babies-packed-them-in-boxes-confesses-to-murders/

IRS Confirms Abortions are Eligible for a Tax DeductionHere’s something from the “Did you know that?” category. Did you know that abortions are apparently eligible for a tax deduction? That appears to be true, so says the IRS.irs

How Does Someone Survive an Abortion? I Did and Here’s How It Happens
Understandably, a lot of people have questions about abortion survivors. How we survive, why we survive, what the impact is for us (emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually), why the realities of survivors is not well-known or spoken about, even by survivors, themselves.
Today I want answer these common questions for you, based on my experiences both personally as a survivor and professionally, working with survivors through The Abortion Survivors Network. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/15/how-does-someone-survive-an-abortion-i-did-and-heres-how-it-happens/

Planned Parenthood Won’t Condemn Woman Who Killed Her Seven Babies, Packed Them in Boxes Police in Pleasant Grove, Utah, discovered over the weekend the bodies of seven dead infants in cardboard boxes, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.

Baby Born With Four Hands and Feet Doing Well After Limbs RemovedOver the 20 years LifeNews has been publishing pro-life news, we’ve seen countless reasons why abortions are performed on disabled babies and we’ve published countless stories on parent who rejected abortions despite the physical conditions their babies faced.
If there were any sort of case abortion activists would attempt to use to justify abortion, this might be one: a baby who was one of conjoined twins who was born with for hands and feet after his twin developed improperly in the womb. Fortunately, the baby was not aborted and is now receiving proper care. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/15/baby-born-with-four-hands-and-feet-doing-well-after-limbs-removed/

Babies With Club Feet, Cleft Palates are Aborted Up to the Day of Birth in BritainToday, a baby with club foot or cleft palate can and is aborted up to the point of birth in England. The law permits an abortion to take place “up to birth” if tests indicate that the child may be disabled when born, while there is a legal limit of 24 weeks for abortions on other grounds.
Why is that the case? Jane Ellison, the public health minister, says the British parliament has not adequately defined the term “serious handicap” in its abortion laws, which has led to a loophole by which babies with very minor disabilities can be aborted after the 24-week legal limit. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/15/babies-with-club-feet-cleft-palates-are-aborted-up-to-the-day-of-birth-in-britain/
